Letter: Problems of student behavior dates back to 18th century Response to: Adair Countians don't wear rose-colored glasses Ed: This issue is one of the oldest problems in the town-gownrelationship between colleges and towns, dating back to at least the18th century in the United States. One of the reasons many colleges were located on a hill or outside ofthe city limits was to prevent college students from being tempted andcorrupted by what were seen as the evils of town life, which in the 18thand 19th centuries included saloons, gambling parlors and perhaps ahouse or two of ill repute. For example, a 1916-17 Lindsey Wilsoncatalog boasted that Columbia has not known to have had a saloon "formore than 40 years." But when the term known as "in loco parentis" was abandoned in highereducation, the situation was reversed and college students soon tooktheir lifestyles into the community. I'm not sure this issue will ever be resolved, in Columbia or any othercity with a vibrant college and active student body. Other thanpunishing and disciplining those who cross clearly defined legalboundaries, there is not a lot a college or community can do -- otherthan continue to engage in dialogue and civil discourse to resolve theproblem. s/Duane Bonifer, Public Affairs Director Lindsey Wilson College This story was posted on 2009-01-08 12:08:11
